Then you need to ask yourself: Performance or memory efficiency? Is it worth the extra cycles and instructions to put 8 bools in one byte and & 0x bitmask the relevant one?

A lot of times using less memory is actually better for performance because the main bottleneck is memory bandwidth or latency.
